DMK leader M K Stalin today charged the ruling AIADMK with not considering the welfare of farmers, many of whom had committed suicide due to debts as they were not getting remunerative prices for their produce.

"Several farmers have committed suicide during the AIADMK regime due to debt burden as they were not getting adequate prices for their produce," the DMK treasurer said at an election meeting here.

Though Chief Minister Jayalalithaa had promised several measures and welfare schemes for farmers in the last election, nothing had been implemented, he alleged.
